This place had a lot of hype to live up to...It's been bookmarked to try since it pretty much opened and I'm glad that my partner reads my bookmarks each time he wants to take me out -- he calls this snooping -- I call it genius.
So anyway, we went, we ate, we drank and we were generally impressed.
We loved the casual decor and the more formal cuisine. We started with an anchovy, garlic white bean dip and continued on with the set four course dinner: vegeteble broth over diced root veggies with a smack of ham... beef tartare with raw yolk and pickled carrots... goose & drake raviloli -- pitched on the menu as the most romantic and unromantic of birds... and then finally a brown butter bread pudding with rosemary infused white chocolate foam and a peach puree.
Also notable was that we watched twice as a couple of locals and then perhaps off duty employees came in to eat. Now if that isn't a good reccomendation I don't know what is...
